Overview
- The Sonora attorney general’s office said it completed excavation and forensic documentation at a rural property about one kilometer east of Ejido Felipe Ángeles in Guaymas.
- Local search groups first located multiple graves and scattered bones at the site, with early tallies ranging from at least eight sets of remains to reports of ten individuals.
- Investigators turned bones, clothing, and other items over to the Forensic Anthropology Laboratory for osteological, anthropological, and genetic testing to identify victims.
- State and federal units, including the criminal investigation agency AMIC, state police PESP, and the National Guard, secured the area during the operation.
- The Guerreras Buscadoras de Guaymas y Empalme and Madres Buscadoras de Cajem said they will keep searching the property, a sign of how citizen groups often lead recoveries in Mexico as identifications can take months.
